1981 UrQuattro story

[Skull]

Guys, I have a strange issue with the car. There is a strange noise that comes from the engine bay. I start hearing it at around 2800rpm, and it gets louder as the rpm go up. When this noise is on, the car feels very strange, like it wants to take off.

Any ideas what could be the cause?

now i have an overboost problem, looks like the WG membrane. is it the same as the later 20v membrane?







a short video of the cutoff

[Skull]

After I solved all the engine issues and after much other work around the engine, it now runs pretty decently...



It is slowly becoming a daily

Hi Skull,

Video doesn't work on my iPad, could be just me though.

Someone who understands these things should see this and sort it.

Best wishes.

[Skull]

fixed it, tnx

[Ruffiano]

now that you have the engine dialed in, time to yank it out and swap in a 20vt or 07kt engine!

On a serious note, it looks great, and i'm happy you got it back to its former glory.

[Skull]

yes it is almost there, just a few more jobs to do

i have made over 950km with it already, i love this machine

[Skull]

Hey guys, are the s2 coupe shock inserts usable in the urquattro struts?

[ryei]

Hi there where did you source the 80 2 door from? Great project thinking of trying it too!!

[Skull]

80 2 door?

this is an quattro coupe...?

maybe missed the thread?

New title, as the car is now a rolling project, the way i like it

the propshaft bearing was squealing, a cv joint boot was broken, winter came... so it was time to get back to work, as it still has issues i have to solve to fully enjoy springtime.


some time ago all the belts, and lower pulleys were replaced

i had to make my own ghetto style locking tool



that worked out just perfectly



both bottom pulleys new, new roller and belts, refurbished alternator



the leaking brake regulator replaced



the clock turned back to match the "mileage" covered together (now over 1600km)



coolant temp and boost gauge installed



two new keychains, one for the CD, the other for the quattro



now i am in the process of overhauling the propshaft, rear diff and rear axles

today it was sandblasting time

I hope you bring it to Worthersee next year

[Skull]

That is the plan

[Skull]

so the renewed parts were installed at last









and i got lucky to get my hands on a set of oz futuras in an awesome combination of width and ET (8,5x17 ET 38)







the car is a bit too low with the springs i have, i think i will get a set of -40 h&r springs instead...
